"Where love is, what can be wanting?..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“Let our lives be good, and the times are good. We make our times; such as we are, such are the times.”

“You are what you love.”

“Free curiosity has greater power to stimulate learning than rigorous coercion. Nevertheless, the free ranging flux of curiosity is channeled by discipline under Your Law.”

“Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.”

“The reply is, that one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be wanting. For it may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, voluble, dissemblers, anxious to avoid danger, and covetous of gain; as long as you benefit them, they are entirely yours; they offer you their blood, their goods, their life, and their children, as I have before said, when the necessity is remote; but when it approaches, they revolt.”

“That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.”

“Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.”

“Knowledge has no value except that which can be gained from its application toward some worthy end.”

“Clay is fashioned into vessels; it is on their empty hollowness that their use depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a dwelling, and on the empty space within, its use depends. Thus, while the existence of things may be good, it is the non-existence in them that makes them serviceable.”
